Answer to Question 1

Ever since the Monroe Doctrine was proclaimed, the United States has had a particularly firm hand in Central America and the Caribbean. Washington has dealt unapologetically and sometimes harshly with perceived threats to the United States from this region.
One of the most aggressive interventions took place in 1954, when the US Central Intelligence Agency ousted the democratically elected Guatemalan leader Jacabo rbenz in a coup. Guatemala's president had pushed for the redistribution of land in a country where 2 percent of the population owned 70 percent of the arable land. His subsequent branding as communist and his potential threat to United Fruit Company interests in Guatemala brought on the CIA intervention, which in turn led to a series of dictatorships and Guatemala's civil war (19601996). That long war's main victims were the rural poor: Latino peasants and indigenous Maya peoples.
